No, but there is a button to export as PD (or menu item, but you can
make it into a button).  That's what I use to send things to people
using windows.

Seriously: yes you can write a macro but no I've not written one myself.
As I said ... PDFs ...


I get a couple of thousand hits googing for "openoffice macros examples"
but what strikes me is that the object oriented language is as bad as
visual basic or JavaScript ...

Try this as a starting point

or perhaps this
